And, relax...

A very cold Friday. It would have been lovely to go up a big hill or walk on a beach but it still made a change to have a completely dry day. A busy morning and an afternoon which didn't involve any teaching but just disappeared. The marking came home with me but not as much of it as I had feared will need to be done this weekend. 

My plan to escape fairly soon after the students was foiled somewhat by a long chat with a colleague but my return home was timed perfectly for a call and then a cup of tea with the bestest friend. Bailey was very excited to see her and provided the entertainment for our catch-up, especially when he became a one-dog game of swing ball and managed to cadge the ends of two mugs of tea.  And then a chilly walk around the block before we settled down for a Friday night in front of the telly. Bailey was particularly relaxed.
